Summary
Bramble 27631, who has had post-surgical hypothyroidism since 2014, breast cancer in 2017, two bouts of Covid in 2021, a breast tattoo infection in 2024 and a hysterectomy in 2025, believes the tattoo infection triggered their fatigue. They started CoQ10 in spring 2025 and called it a game changer, saying they are not what they were but far more functional. They were still working in an office in May 2025 but getting ready to cut their days.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
